13. JOG WHEEL – The jog wheel serves many functions depending on its current mode.
a) If a track is not playing, the JOG WHEEL will search slowly through a track's frames. To set a new cue point,
rotate the JOG WHEEL then begin playback when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return
to that cue point.
b) If a track is playing, the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of the track. Rotating the JOG WHEEL
clockwise temporarily speeds it up while rotating it counterclockwise slows it down. This is a useful tool for beat-
matching.
c) When the SEARCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will scan rapidly through the track.
d) When the SCRATCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will "scratch" over the audio of the
track, like a needle on a record.
Note: When a track is paused, turn the JOG WHEEL to activate "stutter cue," allowing you to hear the current frame
repeatedly. This is a good aid when trying to cue up a precise point in a track like a downbeat.
14. LOOP IN – Sets a new cue point or the start point of a loop (a "Loop In" point) during playback.
15. LOOP OUT – Sets the end point of a loop (a "Loop Out" point) and starts playing the loop. While playing a loop, press
LOOP OUT to release it from the loop and continue normal playback.
16. RELOOP – Plays the track immediately from the beginning of a loop (and reactivates the loop).
17. PROGRAM – This button helps you create a program – a sequence of tracks to play continuously:
• IMPORTANT: Before performing any program functions below, pause playback by pressing PLAY / PAUSE.
• To create a program:
1. Press PROGRAM. "P–##" will flash on the LCD ("##" indicates what number that track occupies in the
program – "P–01," "P–02," etc.)
2. Turn the TRACK KNOB to select a track then press the TRACK KNOB to enter it into the program. Repeat
this process to add more songs to the program.
3. When finished, press PLAY to play the program or press PROGRAM to exit and return to normal play
mode. (When a program is stored, "PG" will be shown on the LCD.)
• To play the program:
1. With a program stored, press PROGRAM. "P–##" will flash on the LCD. The total number of tracks in the
program will be displayed to the left of the LCD (as "P##").
2. Press PLAY to play the first track of the program. When playing a program, "PG" will flash on the LCD.
• To exit a program (without deleting it), if you are playing track within the program, pause it, then press and
hold PROGRAM.
• To add tracks to your stored program:
1. If you were playing your program (if "PG" is flashing), press and hold PROGRAM. You will return to the
first track of that program. If you were not playing your program (if "PG" is solid), skip to the next step.
2. Press PROGRAM. The next available slot of the program will flash in the LCD (as "P–##"). The total
number of tracks in the program will be displayed to the left of the LCD (as "P##").
3. Turn the TRACK KNOB to select a track then press the TRACK KNOB to enter it into the program. Repeat
this process to add more songs to the program.
4. When finished, press PLAY to play the program or press PROGRAM to exit and return to normal play
mode. (When a program is stored, "PG" will be shown on the LCD.)
• To delete a program:
1. Press PROGRAM. "P–##" will flash in the LCD.
2. Press and hold PROGRAM. "PG" will disappear from the LCD and you will return to the first playable track
on your CD/device.
18. SINGLE – Press this button to toggle between Single Play (playback will stop at the end of each track) or Continuous
Play (tracks will be played one after another without interruption).
Hold down this button and turn the TRACK KNOB to adjust the remote start settings (as long as the CDN77USB's
REMOTE START CONNECTOR is connected to the appropriate input of a remote start-compatible mixer):
• CUE/PLAY: When the mixer's crossfader is moved towards the player, the loaded track will play from the last cue
point. When the mixer's crossfader is moved away from the player, the track will return to the cue point and
remain paused.
• TACT: When you connect a momentary switch/pedal to the CDN77USB's REMOTE START CONNECTOR, you
can start or pause playback by pressing it once.
• LOCK: When you connect a momentary switch/pedal to the CDN77USB's REMOTE START CONNECTOR, you
can pause playback by holding the switch down and resume playback by releasing it.
19. TIME – Switches the time display between elapsed playing time, remaining time on the track, and total remaining time
on an entire CD. Hold down this button and turn the TRACK KNOB to scroll through the ID3 tags of a selected file with
available ID3 information. You can choose to view the Title, Album, Artist, or no ID3 tags.
20. PITCH – Adjusts the range of the PITCH FADER (±4%, 8%, 16%, and 100%) or deactivates it. (When all three LEDs
are lit, the PITCH FADER's range is ±100%.) The current range will be indicated by the LCD and LEDs.
21. PITCH FADER – Moving the PITCH FADER will adjust the overall pitch of the music when one or all of the PITCH LEDs
are lit. The pitch will not be changed if the PITCH LEDs are off.
22. PITCH BEND -/+ – You can use these two pitch bend buttons to temporarily adjust the pitch and tempo of the music up
to -/+ 16% from the current pitch setting.
23. MASTER TEMPO – Engages the Master Tempo feature, which locks the musical key of the track to the original key (as
if it were playing with 0% pitch adjustment). You can then adjust the tempo of the track without affecting its key or pitch.
24. TAP – Tap this button to the beat of the music to enter a BPM manually. To prompt CDN77USB to detect a BPM
automatically, hold this button down for 2 seconds.
25. LCD – Indicates all the functions, as they are occurring.
